Chapter 19 - Escapade

Laksh could feel the sweat roll off his forehead out of fear. After all, it wasn't everyday that you saw a live bear in front of your eyes, that too only a hair's breath away from yourself.

He tried to remain as still as possible. 'Maybe he will think I'm dead. I hope he thinks I'm dead.' he twitched as he felt a poke on his arm.

"Laksh, I know what you're thinking. But it won't work." Ragini whispered to him. "How could even think of such an irrational idea?!"

Laksh turned to her in frustration. "Of course he will know it now that you told him!"

"Firstly, it's not a 'he', it's a 'she'. Secondly, she's got enough sense to figure that out!"

"Grrrrr!" the bear growled as it raised its paws to slash them

"Grrrrr!" the bear growled as it raised its paws to slash them.

Laksh grabbed Ragini's shoulders and hid her in his embrace to prevent her from getting hurt. He shut his eyes tightly expecting the pain of the attack.

"Bhai no!" Uttara screamed from where she stood nearby along with Nikhil and Nitin.

However, at the last moment, the bear stopped as it heard a tiny sound from nearby.

It was the voice of the tiny bear that was in Nitin's arms.

As the bear cub let out a tiny growl, the bigger one turned her head to look at it with wide eyes. The way it was looking at the tiny cub, it was obvious they shared a bond.

Feeling no pain, Laksh opened his eyes and blinked his eyes, still in shock. He looosened his grip on Ragini and looked at the bear. 'Eh? She's not attacking? What gives?'

"This is our chance Laksh. Let's make a run for it!" Ragini whisper-shouted to him, trying to pull him back.

"But...but she ain't attacking."

"Yes! That's precisely why we need to take this chance."

"But why isn't it?"

"But why isn't it?"
